I'd like to believe but do you really see a future where old (white) dudes in power will vote in favor of a reform where old dudes arent allowed to be in power because they are "supposedly" unfit for it?

Yeah that wont be happening any time soon in my opinion.

    They could vote for the legislation, maybe push for an amendment, that doesn't kick in for about 10 years.

    e.g. starting 1 January 2036, no person can be a member of Congress who has been in office for 10 or more years, consecutively or non-consecutively. This does not apply to any person who was a Congressperson at the time that this amendment was ratified; and years served before 1 January 2030 will not count.

    and/or,

    e.g. notwithstanding the aforementioned, starting 1 January 2060, no person can be a member of Congress who has been a member of Congress for 10 or more years, consecutively or non-consecutively.

    "they'll only vote for policies that benefit the country if it doesn't affect them" tells you everything about the people currently in power.
